  • Glad you liked them. It's obvious I planned this in a specific way. So like you said, peculiar. It was meant to be that way, and the way the ensemble cast works is what place the roles are gonna be among it in The Justice League Dark. So for example, Batman is first, Raven is second, Luthor is third, Superman is fourth and John Constantine is fifth, so essentially, roles placed in the same order as the movies about them were created before one another.
  • @misterwolf Yes. It still follows the expected line (properly exploring each version before bringing them together), but also in a different way because of that. It gives it an extra personality that I appreciate seeing people try. Congratulations!; Question: Have you ever thought about making a Titans movie? I admit that I would like to see how it would turn out, since you already introduced Raven herself and Beast Boy.
  • @625rip Yeah, I actually have, and if I do, I would like to make Raven the protagonist, considering she's the first of the Titans within the DCLU. Also, I can't do the entire DCLU alone, just like the VCEU. If you wish to help, than by all means. This universe could use a Doctor Fate, Starfire, Firestorm, the Flash and many other projects about the DC Comics characters, I'm not dictating any characters. Work on any you wish, but leave any Batman, Raven, Luthor, Superman, Constantine etc to me. And if you help, don't do any projects until I do the tenth installment of the DCLU and the fourth of Phase Two within in, Batman and Superman. And I say wait until that because I have to consider a Constantine sequel being the lasta one before my second Justice League Dark can be made.
  • @625rip Also, I hope you like the character art I made for some characters in this universe so far. And the posters as well. I made those.

  • Plot: Young Bruce Wayne and his parents Thomas and Martha are stepping out of a movie theater. They walk down an alley where a gangster appears out of the shadows with a gun pointed at the parents. He shoots them and asks Bruce "Hey kid, you ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?" before escaping in a car.
  • Bruce's parents are pronounced dead in the crime scene, and Bruce is comforted by James Gordon, who assures him that no matter how dark the world is, there will be light. Bruce's butler Alfred Pennyworth, becomes his legal guardian and takes him home. Bruce vows to rid Gotham City of its criminal underworld, and Alfred willingly agrees to help him.
  • 26 years later, Bruce has aged 24. He and Alfred have yet to honor their vow, as Bruce has begun dating Selina Kyle, who is around the same age as he is; the dating has complicated the vow. Meanwhile, Gotham's corrupt police commissioner Gillian Loeb is killed by crime associate Joe Chill, who has been dealing with loose ends for Carmine Falcone. However, he has secretly planned to kill Falcone, having realized that he intends to betray him.
  • Bruce meets Lucius Fox, a high ranking Wayne Enterprises employee. He explains to Fox that he needs allies in his intentions to rid the city of its criminal element that took his parents' lives. Fox agrees to help him and designs body armor; he helps Bruce upgrade the armor into a suit that resembles a bat and later designs a cape with points past each bridge of the bottom part.
  • Bruce, with the suit equipped, infiltrates the Falcone Docking Station, ambushes Falcone's men, and subdues the crime lord himself; he tells him "I'm Batman!" before he knocks him unconscious and hands him upside down at the doorstep of the GCPD building for Gordon to find.
  • Chill learns of Falcone's incarceration and takes over his organization; he has Falcone assassinated as his prosecution before revealing himself as the killer of Bruce's parents. Bruce teams up with Selina, who reveals to him that she was orphaned as a child and forced to become a burglar to survive. Bruce comforts her and opens up about his own parents' murder. They apprehend several thugs, as well as crime lords Salvatore Maroni and Theo Galavan.
  • Batman later goes after Chill in the Ace Chemicals building; he angrily throws Chill in a vat of chemicals as vengeance for the murder of his parents. However, he is soon distraught over his own actions towards Chill, and contemplates abandoning his vigilantism. Chill, having barely survived, suddenly emerges from the river canal, and starts laughing.
  • When Bruce arrives at the Gotham Church, Chill arrives, now calling himself the Joker. Gordon tries to arrest him, but is subdued and hospitalized. Bruce makes a mistake when he stares at the Joker with a surprised expression, leading the Joker to realize that Bruce is Batman.
  • Batman and Catwoman arrive at the Gotham Miagani Island to fight the Joker, but he escapes. They forge an uneasy alliance with Gordon as he leaves the hospital. Gordon takes charge of the GCPD and orders the police to work with the vigilantes; Harvey Bullock is reluctant, but after Batman saves him, he realizes that they are just trying to save the city, and he agrees to help them. Batman and Catwoman drive back to the Batcave under Wayne Manor, but when they call Alfred, they discover that the Joker has infiltrated the manor and set the Batcave ablaze; the Joker reveals in his message "I've left enough life in your butler for some final words, if you hurry Batsy!"
